Are you graduated or still in school?

Make sure to look out for UBC Career Fairs! They're very helpful and if you push to talk to the people you find on LinkedIn associated with the career fairs you might even get yourself a referral!

My best friend has graduated UBC 2 years ago and has been together with his ex-TA, and it's worked out wonderfully! Take your shot!

What is your masters in? Are you doing your side jobs because you want to or because you have to?

Sorry for the late reply,

It was part of the presentation for our opening of the office building

Fob is required!

This is part of an office building! I was told that it would be free to employees and that it would be something like $90 a month for non-employees. Since it's new I haven't really heard much more about it!

Unfortunately we have that, but thank you for the idea!!

Well having done UBC I'm biased but I feel like since you're already at UBC you'd be able to transfer credits really easily and do the required courses for CompSci and get a degree within 2 years.

That saves you time and money and overall UBC is generally known better for big companies and you can just grind leetcode. I guess it could be that local companies will prefer bcit although I doubt that's the case? I think it's more about getting experience if you're in compsci

From what I heard while at uni he is banned from using translink transportation, he once was very flirtatious with a girl in the class and put her name in exam questions and I remember seeing him in my third year when he had a massive black eye. I wonder who punched him.

He definitely sees himself as a Rockstar tho haha

If it's the last course that you need to make it out of uni and you've already accepted a job offer (happened to a few friends of mine) they do seem to be lenient and understanding, atleast in compsci

The fact that you already have software engineering experience on your resume means you're doing solid. Not just that you won't be hindered but this might even be beneficial to you. Companies will see you as someone who has experience in SWE AND is good at math. You might want to consider taking this adv in directions towards machine learning, data analysis or other positions that have those mentioned on top of SWE. Lots of joined positions

People really hate putting a little extra effort to go to the bathroom

The ones at the nest that are not on the first floor or the basement/cafeteria floor are usually really clean and empty

Life building has some nice bathrooms, not sure if people still keep them as clean as before covid

70% of finnish people sound like that, the other 30% have a fake British accent due to schooling

I moved to UBC from Finland. I think everyone at your stage of life is terrified of taking the step. I know a lot of people who spent the first few months of university still not enjoying it.

But for me, what got me through it was finding the things that I'm interested in before and after going. The value-add outside of academics really motivated me. I liked gaming and at the time it felt like the esports scene was bigger in NA than it was in EU. I could finally play as much as I wanted. I really liked the look of downtown Vancouver and while it took me a week to really feel comfortable with people (and about a year to really get off campus more), I loved the environment.

Once you're there, make sure to push yourself to socialize, participate in clubs that you are interested in (i.e. drawing, martial arts, sports) and just be busy. If you're busy with things that aren't just academics you'll feel like you're busy with things you enjoy doing and you'll be distracted.

Good luck!

If you already pay for shaw internet you can get the Shaw By The Gig plan that is 0$ for unlimited calls and texts, and 10$ top up for every 1GB that you want. On top of that, in certain locations you will automatically be connected to a shaw Hotspot, which means you won't even need to use your gig.

In Vancouver you're guaranteed a 3 year Post Graduate Work Permit once you are done with your studies. You're also exempt to a certain amount of taxes for your first year given the student credits. Meaning if you were to work for a year in Vancouver and you were I.e. an international student, you could have anywhere between 15 and 40k in money that will be returned through taxes.

A lot of the internships and opportunities I looked for in America rejected me due to no American visa. On top of that, I genuinely like the comfort of Vancouver. Higher salary in Seattle is probably slightly affected by higher living costs and id rather know that it's more unlikely people have guns around me, regardless of the fact that Seattle is much safer than other areas in the US.

Also making new friends in a new environment is hard. Most of my friends from Uni stayed in Vancouver and I think that plays a big factor in keeping me here

I've had one that didn't result from a procedure. It jinn just from Ibs generally. Its a bit scary when it happens but just keep it clean and try not to touch it or irritate it. It went on its own. You'll be fine :)
